CHURN.

sPncIPIcA-i'roiv forming part of Letters Patent No. 867,481, amd August 2, 1887.

Application filed Marrh 15, 1887.

Serial No. 231,059. (No model.)

To all whom, it ma]] conccrn;

Be it known that I, MARYELISABETH MOR- GAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Gainesborough,in the county ofJackson and State of Tennessee, have'invented a new and useful Improvement in Churns, of which the following` is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved churn for making butter; and the construction will first be fully described, and then pointed out in the elaim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view in elevatiou of the churn complete. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the churn-body, and Fig. 3 perspeetive Views of details, hereinafter referred to.

Similarletters refer to simil'arparls throughout the several views.

A is thecylindrical oblong churn-body provided with closed ends.

Bis a vertically-extcnding neek or collar soldered over an openingin the cireumference and located exaetly in the center of the churnbody. Said collar is provided with a screwthreaded extension7 B', having a flange, B, at its base.

O is a lid or stopper threaded and flanged to correspond to the parts just mentioned, and provided with a Vertical ventilating-tnbe, D, threaded at its upper end.

, E is an internally-threaded eap, adapted to engage with the external thread on the upper end of Vertical tube D.

F F are rings or handles, one applied to each end of the churn-bod y. I

Having thus described my invention, the operation thereof is as follows: Cream is placed in the receptacle or churn-body through the neck or collar B. The lid or stopper O, earrying tube D, is placed in position and the churn raised to the lap of the operator. The churning is effected by lifting' first one end and then the other of the churn-body, causin g the cream alternately to travel back and forth admission of air through said tube causes the butter quiekly to gather, from seven to ten minutes being the ordinary time required for churning.

All gascs generated while ehurning can readily escape through the tube D.

Cap E serves to close tube D when the device is not in use, to prevent the entranee of dust or flics.

After the butter is gathered the lid or stopper Cis removed and the contents of the churn discharged through neck B into a suitable receptacle.

My churn is light and compact, can readil y be carried from place to place, and can be easily eleaned, and it is obvious that it can be readily mounted and operatcd by machinery in any of the well-known ways.

I am aware that cylindrieal oblong churnbodies having vertically extending necks closed by stoppers or caps are old, and I am also aware that it is ,common to provide similari'churns with tubes through which air is admitted during the operation of churning.

Having thus described my invention,what 1 claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

The herein described churn, comprising the eylindrical oblong receptacle A, provided with Vertical neek B, threaded on its upper portion, and with a haudle, F, at each end, the externally-threaded eap or collar O, having up- Wardly-projecting air-tube D, threaded, as descrbed, and the internally-threaded cap E, the parts being combined as set forth.
